food IS a theme park
It’s official, we’ve made it to June! We’re getting into the hottest part of the year and we’re about to start seeing summertime crowds at Disney World.
Welcome to the hottest part of the year in Disney World!
If you’re heading to the parks this month, there are a lot of things you’re going to need to know, and today we’re sharing that list with you. Let’s dive right in!
Disney World’s pretty famous for its mountains.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Of course, we’ve got the 3 big mountains in Magic Kingdom — Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad — but we can’t forget about Expedition Everest over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! And while LOTS of people say these are some of the best rides in Disney World, we wondered which one would come out on top.
Disney World is constantly changing, which means construction is bound to happen!

And if you’re planning on visiting Disney World soon, you’ll want to be up to date on what’ll be closed during your trip! So today, we’re bringing you our weekly refurbishment update for June 7th-13th, 2021.
Disney World’s 50th anniversary is THIS YEAR! We’re getting so close!
Cinderella Castle
Disney has lots of plans in store, but to get prepared, lots of shops, rides, and more are getting a refurb so that they look their best for the special occasion. The Main Street Confectionery is currently undergoing a HUGE refurb, and the PeopleMover finally (!!!) reopened after a super long refurb, but now a favorite Magic Kingdom coaster has been added to the refurb calendar.
Mickey Mouse and Cinderella Castle aren’t the only must-see things in Magic Kingdom!

Okay, so you’ve already had a Mickey Bar, waved to the princesses, and rode your favorite attractions. Think you’re ready to leave Magic Kingdom? Not so fast! We’ve got a few more things to add to your to-do list!
There are rides that you just have to go on when you visit the Disney Parks.
Cinderella Castle
Whether it be the most popular ride in the park, or an underrated favorite, we’ve all got those must-do attractions. Today, one of the most popular rides in Magic Kingdom is down.
Hello from Magic Kingdom!
Dumbo
We spent a day wandering around all the lands just so we could get you the latest updates! Ready? Here we go!
Update: We checked on this later in the day and My Disney Experience showed that all of these attractions had reopened.
Disney World might be the most magical place on earth, but rides there can experience technical difficulties at times, causing them to temporarily close.
Magic Kingdom
Sometimes these closures are only for a few minutes, but other times they can last for much longer. As we walked around Magic Kingdom today, we actually found that 3 rides are ALL temporarily closed right now due to technical difficulties.
When it comes to Disney World rides, not all seats are created equal.
Big Thunder Mountain
The attraction vehicles are designed to give guests a good experience from any seat. That doesn’t mean that every seat is the best seat. Some seats offer a better view and others offer a smoother ride. You might notice that the back row of Pirates of the Caribbean is cozier and feels a bit more private than the crowded middle seat! And, thrill-seekers love to sit in the front row of Space Mountain to get the total illusion of bolting through space. It takes a few rides on each attraction before you can determine which seat has the coolest experience. Most of the time, you only have one chance to ride Seven Dwarf’s Mine Train during your vacation so you gotta make it count! To help you out, we’re breaking down the BEST and WORST places to be seated at each attraction in the Magic Kingdom!
Perhaps the hottest Disney merchandise items of 2020 were the products from the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction collection!
Minnie Ears
The monthly merchandise line featured classic Disney attractions like “it’s a small world”, Peter Pan’s Flight, and Jungle Cruise, wrapping up in December with a stunning fireworks finale series. The monthly merchandise releases were so popular that they helped spawn the creation of shopDisney’s MerchPass, AND they inspired this year’s collection, Stitch Crashes Disney. Even though 2020 is over, we spotted some Main Attraction merchandise today in a very unexpected place!
